The latest maintenance release Git v1.9.3 is now available at
the usual places.

The tarballs are found at:

    https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/testing/

The following public repositories will all have a copy of the
'v1.9.3' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at:

  url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
  url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
  url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
  url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git
  url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core
  url = https://github.com/gitster/git

but I am cutting 2.0.0-rc3 today, so you may have to wait for a bit
until these repositories are updated.


Git v1.9.3 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v1.9.2
------------------

 * "git p4" dealing with changes in binary files were broken by a
   change in 1.9 release.

 * The shell prompt script (in contrib/), when using the PROMPT_COMMAND
   interface, used an unsafe construct when showing the branch name in
   $PS1.

 * "git rebase" used a POSIX shell construct FreeBSD /bin/sh does not
   work well with.

 * Some more Unicode codepoints defined in Unicode 6.3 as having
   zero width have been taught to our display column counting logic.

 * Some tests used shell constructs that did not work well on
   FreeBSD.
